Comments: Harlequin charges $4.49 for ebook version and $3.99 for paper. I wanted to buy the ebook to read on vacation (leaving in 2 days). However, I will not pay more for an e-version than paper. I would buy the paper edition, but it obviously won’t get to me before I leave. So, I will revisit this after I return from vacation.
